There is no real world comparison yet.. embraer had to rework the wing in their development.. engines being equal, its certainly going to be a bitter battle.. hopefully the c searies is so efficient mainline will favor them instead of the rjs and this silly regional market can dry up.. i know.. i know..
The thing killing the 175-E2s is that they are too big for scope but mainline carriers don't want to open the box of aircraft of that size class back at mainline. I expect attempts to renegotiate weight limits for scope from management.
